[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ZachariahZ:
Hey,

I've got an unlocked i9305 with Optus Australia, and I'd like to share my way to root the phone.

I rooted my i9305 weeks ago, just a simple software with one click, nothing to do with Odin.

I don't know why there's hardly such tool in the xda and many english-based forum, so try this link:

sj.qq.com/root

[Probably you don't understand Chinese language, google-translate the webpage]

Things you need to do:

1.A Windows-based PC

2.Download the tool from the link (Hit the green button not the blue one)

3.Have kies installed (Or you can install the phone driver alone)

4.Enable usb-debug in development option on your i9305

5.BACK UP!

6.Connect your phone with a cable to your PC

7.Use the tool, ONE Click, root your phone successfully

8.After rooting you'll probably find a superuser app in Chinese, don't worry

9.Go downloading the Superuser app in play-store, it can help you to switch to the new SU app.

10.Done!

EDIT:

IF THE FIRMWARE ON YOUR PHONE IS 4.1.2, THIS METHOD WILL NOT WORK.

But you can still root your i9305 running 4.1.2 by flashing a auto-root file through Odin. The name of the file is CF Auto root.

Check this link:

http://m.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galaxys3-lte-i9305-android412-xxbma1-jellybean-426559.html

PS: the 4.1.2 firmware I used is the Nordic one downloaded from sammobile, as this is the only one I found not bundled with a carrier. My phone was originally branded with Optus Australia but uncloked. I'm now glad to see the original Samsung logo instead of the ugly optus logo, when turning on the phone.

======================================================================

HERE COMES MY QUESTION: (SOLVED)

ALREADY SOLVED, EVERYTHING GOES FINE.

My phone is an unlocked one but with an Optus logo when turning it on.

The latest firmware released in Australia for my Optus i9305 is 4.1.1.

So I'm considering manually flashing the German Firmware 4.1.2 downloaded from SamMobile to the phone, through Odin 3.

I want to use the German 4.1.2 firmware because people say it is the unbranded firmware.

But my concern is the CSC, as I hear that CSC is about the location, carrier, and APN settings, etc.

Will it be problematic if I manually upgrade my i9305 to the German 4.1.2 Firmware? I mean problems with carriers, or even brick:silly:

Or any other suggestions if I want to do so?

Any help will be appreciated :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] maranello69:
everything should be just fine, man, the CSC provided in the German firmware should work ok with u'r phone, but if u notice any issues, you can use this app to change your CSC

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MrMister71:
easy root

I just tried to do the method... felt a bit risky as the tool itself was also written in Chinese so but it came up with a large exclamation mark.. so don't think my 9305 4g lte was succesfully rooted.. :(...

I got mine through DWI... so Hong Kong.. android 4.1.1 baseband.. I9305ZHALI2, Buid nr.. JRO03C.I9305ZHBLL3

I had hoped to root my phone so I could play around with it and install a new rom..

Any idea why it didnt work?

Re: [I9305 Simplest Root Guide] & [SOLVED] My Question of Updating to Official 4.1.2

Hi Peter

That's unusual, I thought it should work for the hongkong version. Make sure you have kies installed, debug mode enabled and ticked the box and had at least 20 per cent battery.

If you are sure that everything was right, first have a look at your app list see if there is big R icon in blue. If not, probably it doesn't work for you.

Then try the other method with odin I posted above :) It meant to be the root method for 4.1.2, I just updated my i9305 yesterday with the Nordic Firmware 4.1.2 from sammobile, and both the firmware and the root method with Cf auto root worked perfectly.

See the edited part above. Good luck:)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] NevErSn0w:
do you know if that Nordic firmware would work with my I9305T

Re: [I9305 Simplest Root Guide] & [SOLVED] My Question of Updating to Official 4.1.2

I cannot assure you that as I do not have an i9305T to test.

But I have seen people's discussion, and many of them in this forum said that the firmwares are transferable between the i9305 and the one with T.

So I would expect it works, but double check on that, don't risk your phone:)

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarr001:
Hello all. I seem to have hit a snag while trying to achieve rooted JB. I used Matt's Utility to flash back to 4.0.4 and rooted the device before installing SafeStrap and Voodoo. After all this though, I am unable to upgrade my phone via the Verizon OTA updates as it fails on reboot and takes me to the recovery screen with the red triangle. I can't do a manual update either of the update as SafeStrap gives me an error whenever I try to flash the file (Status 4: e-signature verification failed). Even roms that I have successfully used in the past are now producing this error when attempting to flash.

Does anyone know what this is a symptom of?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Do you have any other recovery besides the stock recovery installed?

You cannot do the OTA update with a non-stock recovery.

Phone but be completely stock (except Root) to do OTA.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djousma:
Get rid of safestrap, and reinstall it AFTER the JB upgrade. Safestrap always causes problems with OTA updates.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarr001:
Resolved. Thanks for the answers, you were absolutely right. Reran steps 1 through 3 on the utility, installed all OTA updates after protecting root in order to achieve rooted JB. Installed safest rap afterwards. I wish this was clearer in the utility or on the instructions online. Enjoying batakang right now, cheers!

I'm using this theme on SlimBean Rc1 and everything is absolutely brilliant :) I love the system ui sounds, Especially the screen unlock.

Everything fits perfectly together, I like the contact avatars, the spinners look great, and all in all, this is an amazing theme! The only problems I have found, are with the musicsleep app and swype, as both apps say they have stopped working when I try to open them, but this isn't a problem for me as I don't use them.

I am trying out an aokp rom today, and I will report how the theme works on that too... Thank you mate, I am sticking with this theme now, and I look forward to future updates :)

Love the look of the theme,

Its pretty much perfect,

Once i installed the Extra SubZero apps,

I was getting FC with Swype, couldnt use that, also the Music Sleep just FC when ever i tried to open it,

I removed the apps and all seems fine,

Will use this theme :D..

Only thing thats not exactly too my liking is the default contact Pic, i dont know the android is just a little too large for my liking when in MMS i kinda cant stop looking at it :D... I changed that and LOVE the theme ^_^

Great work mate, I will be coming to this thread often :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RapperDMX:
After nearly 3 years of captivate flashing and thinking I had it all figured out i find myself completely stumped by this new phone.

On a SGH-I777 (not skyrocket) running stock ICS I followed

"[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCLE5 Stock ICS with Root"

>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746181 , and flashed :

ucle5_stock_rooted.tar.7z (extracted to .tar) using ODIN odin3 v1.85

Siyah-v3.3.3d_AJ_noswap-I777.zip using MobileODINLite-v2.45.apk

System booted fine, poked around in settings confirmed kernel was new, rebooted into recovery all looked well, noted a section for "kernel specific options".

At that point, I went after my main goal, loading up CM10.1 for i777 (specifically: cm-10.1-20130118-NIGHTLY-i777.zip).

Flashed that, plus gapps, nothing out of the ordinary. System booted fine, CM10.1 worked perfectly fine (bluetooth,wifi,NFC etc). To test battery life I left it running off the charger all day and all night.

This morning, i decide that the i777 looks solid and its time to swap over sim+microsd from the captivate, i power down the i777 and find that it refuses to power back on.

Symptoms:

no recovery (volup+down+power for over 60seconds), no boot, only download mode via volume down+usb cable.

plugging cable in without pressing anything causes the capacitive buttons and screen to flash for about 1/10sec every 4 seconds)

Download mode screen displays the following

------------------------------------------------------------------

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I777

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

I've already tried flashing back to stock using "I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries" and "I777UCLE5 Stock Binaries (Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich)"

ICS I777UCLE5_I777ATTLE5_I777UCLE5_HOME.tar.md5

GB I777UCKH7-REV02-home-low-CL503881.tar.md5.7z

GB one click I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.7z

In each case odin recognizes and flashes successfully [PASS!] but the phone still wont boot. Immediately after the Odin flash it gets as far as the "Samsung Galaxy S2" spash screen once, and only for a second with no other icons, then immediately resumes its no boot behavior.

I'm completely lost on this one. Can you point me in the right direction? I hope i've provided enough useful information to narrow this down.

Don't let your battery die on this phone. Causes lots of issues, including ones that sound like yours. I would leave it plugged in for an hour , then take out the battery for like 10 minutes. Put the battery back in and try to just boot into the operating system. This has worked for me previously.

The above post is correct, my i777 was bricked for a week or so I thought until I plugged it in in the computer den and forgot about it for a week, seems to work fine now :/ was scary as hell though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RapperDMX:
^^^--- correct.

Turns out it was a battery issue afterall. Note to self and for future readers, do NOT let the batteries get below ~5% or so or you could end up in the same situation.

I ended up *carefully* supplying about 4 volts directly to the spring contacts to feed both battery and phone at the same time - just so the phone would boot up far enough to do something. And Finally it worked.

I flashed back to 2.3.4 with bootloaders (I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full) so i could safely do the wipe/factory reset. flashed ucle5_stock_rooted,the siyah kernel and went back into cm10.1.

Everything works great now. Thanks for the hints.

On the About Phone -> Status I do get "Network: T-Mobile/Simple Mobile" ( Depending on the SIM I use ), but I don't even get EDGE, I cant make calls, I get the annoying emergency calls only, its making me crazy. Is there a way to fix this issue?

I am in Tucson Arizona, a city where T-Mobile has upgraded their GSM frequency.

( I already added the APN settings, but I'm sure I don't need that to make calls, or get EDGE, I don't know what else to do to fix this ).
